ShareLuke's Army - A legacy impacting upon the Child Protection System (CPS, DoCS, DHS, DSS): 2011

Luke Borusiewicz died at the age of two due to blatant negligence by CPS in North Cairns, Queensland, Australia.
Luke was also let down by the complaints hotline, and every staff member his father and mother begged to save him from a dangerous, and fatal situation.
Luke was two years old, and the people that are supposed to be experts act caring for a child, turned their back on this little baby, showing exactly how much they really do care.

About Me

The day that DoCS (The Department of Child safety) took my little boy away.

I gave Luke that silver childrens size drum kit the day they took him away. That is what reminded me that the woman from the Department of Child Safety was watching when we filmed this. I wanted to show her how good he was. At this stage I had him singing, playing piano, guitar and harmonica every day and he had begun to <a href="http://lukesarmy.com/node/119?pid=11">draw.</a>

His mum had gone missing for a week and Luke and I enjoyed each others company more than anything in the world. On the last morning when he woke up, he started talking like I had never seen him talk before, neither would I see him talking so happily again. He was taken from me five minutes after <a href="http://forums.altnews.com.au/content/lukes-army">this video.</a>

The child safety woman did not give a reason for anything. She took him from his sleep, I was religous about his midday nap. The only people who ever woke him up, ever, during his midday nap was child safety. Twice.

He was taken and put with his mother in housing supplied by some emergence housing place. They took him despite his mothers long list of complaints from the public about the neglect of Lukes two older siblings, both born 7 years apart from each other. In fact one womans shelter had reported her to DoCS and stated that all of her money was spent on Drugs and Alcohol and they were forced to feed the children. She was so drunk she asked them to ring an ambulance because she couldnt feel her legs. Another womans shelter kicked her out on the first night because she got so drunk. Now on this day when they took Luke away I was fine, as you see in the video I did with Luke where I played piano and Luke sang and also played piano. Once they rang me and asked me if I had been giving him lollies or soft drinks. I told them I always brought fruit and childrens drinks for the visits and enquired as to why they would ask this. She told me that he was very upset and disturbed after our visit together. Any fool could tell you that is because he missed the one person who always protected him, adored him, worshipped him, <a href="http://lukesarmy.com/node/83?pid=11">spoilt him rotten.</a> Later they would take him from me, after I had been drug free and in a successful relationship with Lukes Mum as she had stopped abusing alcohol when we went to Townsville. He was taken away screaming by a policeman and shifted from foster home to foster home in Townsville, and then from foster home to foster home in Cairns, until he was left for six hours with a fractured skull while at one of those foster homes, this ultimately caused Lukes death. My two year old son was kicked out of his foster home the day before christmas. Now if I did that to my two year old, I would be in Jail. If I left my little boy there with a fractured skull, bleeding on the brain, a blood clot, scratches on the face and a finger that must have been slammed into a door to be that purple, I would be in Jail. Let me tell you how our government takes care of problems like these. Last year <a href="http://www.childsafety.qld.gov.au/performance/child-protection/child-death.html">sixty three children died while in foster care.</a>

Study Concludes That Kids Are Better Off In Troubled Homes Than In Foster Care
By Luke's Army
For the Group Give Kristy Her Kids Back !! Maddie Needs Her !! {Official Petition} on Monday, November 29, 2010 at 7:52am
Children are better off when left in troubled homes, and not detained in state custody foster homes.
Joseph Doyle Jr., an economics professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management did a study on foster children compared to children living in troubled homes, funded by the National Science Foundation. He used the analytic tools of applied economics to discover that “…children on the margin of foster care placement have better employment, delinquency, and teen motherhood outcomes when they remain at home.”
PLEASE, social workers, legislators, everyone. LISTEN. Most kids are better off when left in their natural family homes. If you care about children, if you want them to have good lives and turn out to be happy, productive citizens, don’t take them away from non-abusive parents.
Doyle’s study tracked more than 15,000 children in Illinois from 1990 to 2002. He chose Illinois because they provided the statistics he needed. He screened out extreme cases of abuse and concentrated only on children whose cases could have gone either way (remaining in their family homes, or going to foster homes).
A July 3, 2007 USA Today article by Wendy Koch states, “Studies . . . show that the 500,000 children in U.S. foster care are more likely than other kids to drop out of school, commit crimes, abuse drugs and become teen parents. . . . His research has shown that this holds true even when foster kids are compared with other disadvantaged youth.”
In conclusion, Doyle wrote: “With the child welfare system affecting so many children who appear to be at high risk of poor life outcomes, it would be useful to know whether abused children benefit from being removed from their families. The analysis here uses the effective randomization of abuse investigators, who differ somewhat in their tendency to have children placed in foster care, to estimate causal effects of placement on longer-term outcomes. Children assigned to investigators with higher removal rates are more likely to be placed in foster care themselves, and they are found to have higher delinquency rates, along with some evidence of higher teen birth rates and lower earnings.”
Thank you, Joseph Doyle Jr., for doing this study.

Linda Burney minister for communities in NSW responsible for putting thousands of children into foster care. She has legally kidnapped Krysty's children.

The behaviour of DoCS and their treatment of this mother during this crisis has been unacceptable.

You are in my thoughts today Maddie. Please God, give this child the strength to recover and live a full life full of happiness with her mother, Amen.

I have spent the last four or five days devoted to exposing the injustices thrust upon Krysty and her children, I have abstained from dwelling on what was been done by the father, as it pains me to think of any child being hurt.

I have concentrated more on the disrespectful approach displayed by DoCS. No government department, no private enterprise, no individual displays such callous and contemptuous aggression to a distraught human being, struck with such a drastic tragedy in her life. This disgracious and ill-mannered behavior is habitual and commonplace for the hierarchy of the child protection services.(DoCS).

I have been the receiver of this treatment from them, as has most who have come into contact with these banshees. They display impartiality towards parents, which is a sign that they signify the bond between a parent and their child as of little value. Any credible child care worker or parent will profess the invaluable connection that exists between a parent and their child. A child protection officer should be seeking to strengthen this bond, if it should be insubstantial. A child's love for their parent and the reciprocated feelings of the parent toward the child are a healthy basis for a happy childhood. We are mammals, we instinctively raise our young.

What we have witnessed on this occasion, is the refusal to acknowledge that this person, who is only human and makes mistakes like everyone, has been subject to uncivil and disrespectful treatment, from public servants who work with children everyday, for a living.

I wish to point out that these impertinent child safety experts, have failed to show the slightest compassion since the onset of this tragedy. This is a brazen example of why these hateful, malevolent rank and file are causing havoc to families unfortunate enough to be exposed to their unimpressive display of family guidance.

I bring to your attention the fact that the cold shoulder treatment unleashed on this mother was demeaning from the onset, text book DoCS procedure where they refuse to acknowledge parental rights. This snowballs into a cantankerous course of abusive actions whereby this already traumatized family, a mother who has lost the father of her children with no conceivable logic as to why, and the catastrophic possibility that she may lose her young child, as well as the three children who have lost a major source of love and support, their father, with the possibility also for the loss of a sibling, these citizens are all being treated like cows in a mustering station. They have been shown absolutely no compassion or support.

What possible harm could it do to allow a parent to spend the last days of her daughter's life in her presence as much as possible. I'm sorry, but anyone so heartless as to deny the mother and the daughter this tragic luxury, should not be working with children or families, full stop.

This is inhumane and callous. To strip away all rights of the parent, even the final decision on weather to accept the doctors advice on the removal of life support or not. What sort of heinous, depraved individual would be so over bearing and audacious as to take this parental responsibility away and arrogantly assume the responsibility? Someone who should never work with children again.

The people that have represented Linda Burney should not be inflicted upon families or children ever again, what we have all witnessed is heartless and disgusting. The sad, cold truth is but, these despicable characters will move straight onto the next unfortunate families.

We have seen they show no respect for a parents love for their children or parental rights, or a child's love for their parents. These malicious, depraved sick human beings are a force unto themselves. We also have witnessed over these last few days their attempt to curtail public outcry with threats and blackmail of the grieving mother, trying to shut down public support and outcry at their unacceptable treatment of this family. They will sink to unbelievable levels, and they work with children.

My friends, I and so many others who have endured this treatment, are well aware of this abuse of power by evil people who are in charge of children and families. It is regretful that this behavior has been exhibited, but it has exposed the unsuitable work ethics that are ingrained within the CPS.

Linda Burney, you were in charge here. Once again you have sat back and authorised this mistreatment and disrespectful behavior, I am just thankful for so many others to now be enlightened as to the horrific treatment that is unleashed onto parents and children by this evil entity.

Linda Burney, you are a witch. Your inadequacies are inerrant throughout your failing department. Anyone that can sit back and administer these villains of misery has no morals.

CPS Hiding Behind Media Laws

By Luke's ArmyFor the Group Give Kristy Her Kids Back !! Maddie Needs Her !! {Official Petition}on Sunday, December 12, 2010 at 12:05pm
President Obama recently closed 80 sites related to counterfeiting in the US. This was not perceived as censorship, or a violation of civil rights. However, Ms Burney's threats, blackmail, bullying, extortion, call it what you like, shows that this woman is capable of more than just violating family rights, she will also strip you of your civil rights without a second thought and has done so for years.
For people to be aware of the injustices this department inflicts upon families, is unheard rare.
Does this woman think she is Obama, or our prime minister, she is not even the premier, she is a minister who must take full responsibility for this failing department. Oh how infuriating it must be to be told this by a skumbag like myself. I bet you wish you could censor me. I am the sort of person Linda likes to take children off. Yas already got mine Linda.
If I may use the Child Protection System as a reference being that I am familiar with it's shortcomings, they have utilised censorship laws probably more than any other government department in my uninformed opinion. This has harbored them from any accountability for decades, resulting in CPS departments world wide festering into a debauched and deceitful businesses of family persecution.
According to the ombudsmen who investigated the department of communities in NSW, things have remained the same for some time. That would not be so bad except it is in a state of chaos, and has been for years, with Ms Burney at the helm. Hundreds of children known to her department have died.
Bit by bit this system has contrived excuses to appease it's own power mongering direction, an out of control machine which cannot be stopped, and has forgotten it's reason for existence. There is no transparency, and the laws that purportedly are there to protect children, are used by this evil entity to pursue it's own ends, hiding the constant trail of stuff ups and injustices, and the many desecrated lives of the children who ultimately pay the price for their incongruous and discordant approach.
My point is....
You have an example of what happens if even only a small part of a government is given exemption from scrutiny by the courts, the press, and the public. With this privilege comes arrogance and self assuredness from these perpetrators who answer to no one, and the narcissistic belief that they can never be wrong.
Worst of all with their unassailable position of power, they claim no responsibility for their actions, or decisions, good or bad, it is all hidden behind a veil of secrecy enforced by the threat of legal action should the media, the families they have brutalised, or the children they have raped, pursue their iniquities.
So where does the government stop, once it has started to remove websites? A better question is where should they have started???? I believe she should get over this facebook page,http://www.facebook.com/pages/Give-Kristy-Her-Kids-Back-Maddie-Needs-Her...
Give the kids back, and if she wants to censor anything, start by removing the child porn off the internet.
This department has had the powerful tool of censorship at it's disposal for decades. This is the common element of all Child Protection Services which are desecrating families around the world. My uneducated opinion is that America is the worst CPS in the world, but Britain has a huge legal kidnapping racket going on, with big $$$ being made for adopting the legally kidnapped babies out.
The babies are earmarked for adoption before they are born, and lower income families are targeted because they cannot afford legal representation. If the mother raises her voice when they come and take the children, she has anger management problems and is a danger to the children. This is not an exaggeration.
Once again, this is all hidden by media laws, and the devastated parents have not only had their babies kidnapped, but without a doubt will go to jail if they say a word, but there are no reporters game to touch it either. This is how CPS has deteriorated world wide.
I believe it is the prime minister's responsibility to have final say when web sites are to be shut down or censored?
In the event of inconsistency between Commonwealth and State laws, section 109 of the Constitution of Australia provides that the laws of the Commonwealth shall prevail over those of a State to the extent of any inconsistency.
Section 51 (xxi) marriage; (xxii) divorce and matrimonial causes; and in relation thereto, parental rights, and the custody and guardianship of infants;

Leave well enough alone. Why does this department need to come in and strip this mother of her parental rights.

Burney has displayed the depth that her callousness reaches. Her first action in this tragedy, remove parental rights, without a second thought.

This is supposed to be a woman who is all about protecting children, and families. This woman and her department routinely encroach upon countless families unfortunate enough to be exposed to them, and as we have seen, it is certainly a case of "SHOW NO MERCY."

Kristy gave up all of her public support, which had grown at the rate of 500 people per day for a week, after foolishly believing that if she submitted to Burney's demands, it would go a long way to reuniting the family, in this mothers' view, the best possible outcome for her children.

Another lesson to be noted. Do not ever go along with their demands. Burney has never had any intention of reuniting this family, from day one. We have a group here with thousands of people who can see the need for the children to be with their mother.... I can tell you that it could be the whole of Australia in this group demanding the children be returned, and it would make no difference to Burney.

This woman and her team of harpies answer to no one. They hide behind media laws and utilise a corrupt network of senior DoCS NSW staff who like Burney, like to play judge, jury and executioner. They are never wrong in their own mind, and are uninterested in the opinion of absolutely anyone else's assessment. Burney is God, only God is full of love, not blind hatred of her clientel, and no realisation of the traumatic harm which is endured by a child forcefully removed from parents.

To make matters worse, a child is 10 times more likely to die in foster care than in the family home. It is a lucky dip, they may end up with a good foster carer, or they may be taken from the parents who love them, and abused by a stranger, and then moved from stranger to stranger, until they die, like my little boy.

I know from experience the devastation and bewilderment a parent feels when they are helplessly pushed aside by an arrogant, uncaring, hateful, callous, heartless, unmovable and untouchable weapon of mass family destruction such as Burney.

Read the statements from these 5 desperate families from NSW whose lives have been devastated by Burney and her banshees.

What do these predators of the unfortunate have against children being with their parents. The foster system is dangerously overloaded because of this attitude. They can't wait to take the children away, and then do every low trick in their dirty little book of DoCS tricks to stand in the way of loving parents doing everything asked of them and more.

Burney, you are a liar and a predator of misfortunate and disadvantaged children and families. You are a bully, a facist, a rapist of innocence, a parasite of the lowest order. You are a failure in your position as minister, but arrogance allows you to ignore any shortcomings or judgemental errors.

You plough through your own country, your own people, and leave a trail of destruction.

You are an aboriginal. Your ancestors have just been apologised to by the federal government. You exhibit disregard for this apology with your implementation of the same misguided and unfair actions.

The stolen generation was a despicable act of major historical importance, which must be remembered and learnt from. Removing human rights, family rights, parental rights, followed by mindless and unfounded kidnapping with misguided intentions, resulting in a whole generation traumatically attacked by the government with a remedy for their harmful actions not possible.

A government which showed disrespect and contempt to innocent people, wrecking their lives, communities, future. Total disregard for basic human rights and dignity, and they got away with it, because they answered to no one.

So we had the stolen generation. Then the forgotten generation. Another lesson in what happens when the authorities remain unchecked, untouched, unanswerable for their actions. Another generation ruined by beuracracy, deceitfully portraying themselves as the saviour of these people, while stabbing them in the back and leaving them in the gutter to die the moment they walk past.

And now we have the next generation.... The new stolen generation by Linda Burney.

You keep pushing your bullshit down these babies throats, and ignore the parents, give them all the bullshit courses and counselling to go to so they have the impression they are gonna get their children back, then pull the rug out from under them you cruel bitch.

Your a maggot Burney. Fuck off and let some kids who want to go home, be with their loving family.

Sorry to all about my language, but I am not a toffee nosed, uni degree read it in a book and know it all about families and kids, but know fuck all, take my shit out on anyone who I feel like or doesn't bow at my feet, and never have the decency to show the common courtesy of answering emails or phone calls, like the self proclaimed God of human despair and family abuse, Ms Burney.

I will end with a quote from my greatest hero, Jesus.

Show mercy and forgiveness, not judgement.

You should be helping these people Burney, not laying the boot in. We all have problems, remember that. Taking kids should be a last resort, not a leisure activity.

Linda Burney never had any intention of bringing this family back together, just another in the trail of destruction she has left after years of raping the family unit, answering to no one for her actions.

What matters here is not what the children want, not what the mother wants, not what the public wants, it's all about Linda Burney, and she does not give an inch, ever. Sometimes you have to be a bit flexible with children.
She should be working as a torturer for the CIA, or dentist ripping out teeth, an undertaker, the person who works at the RSPCA and kills all the cute little animals who aren't adopted, a serial murderer in the movies... instead she is in charge of child safety in NSW

I find for an official petiton this image to be very innapropriate at the least ........got any ideas of what would be an apropriate image for the story that goes with this image Di ??? Linda Burney needs to STOP !!! her department needs to STOP. children deserve better services and support to keep them within their family un...it, just ask the thousands of kids that leave state care between the ages of 16-18 and have no connection to ANY family, do they agree with what docs have done by destroying the family unit and breaking all family bonds ?

where are the statistics of all the kids leaving care? how many are happy? how many are lost and have no family connections, how many kids were stable in foster care? how many kids lack stability in state care? where are the statistics that show what docs are doing to families? if the statistics were positive Linda Burney would be showing the positive outcomes to all, as this is not happening one can only believe that there is no such thing as a positive outcome for all the children in careSee More I think this image is awesome oh and more than appropriatethe image is irrelevant... although clearly a manifestation of the frustration and hurt built up in families that are being torn apart... I hope someone gets the point of the story and something is done soon ‎"Community Services" power hungry heartless blood-thirsty animals

I do apologise for the language, but every now and then people need to be reminded, i am an activist. I can and should do outlandish things. Keeps those cockroaches worried that i may be crazy. My son probably has the largest of hundreds o...f CPS Reform groups in the world. giving me support and resources. I don't want to let my son down or anyone, but my motto is 'I am a loose fucking cannon.' i will sincerely try to calm down a bit, I was just so angry when I heard the latest despicable treatment inflicted upon this family.

Thankyou for your comment my friend. Once again I apologise for my lack of finesse, but relish the opportunity of posting this rebuttle. While none of my friends are aware of my efforts to make an impact on CPS reform and see that Luke is ...honored, many who are part of the fb platform are subjected to my relentless quest. I do not talk about what happened to my son. It hurts too much, and People I am with should not be force fed this issue. On fb, you have a choice to read or not. To engage, or turn your back. When you said it will be used against me, you are definitely right. I was told that I can probably sue for around 20 million. Luke can never be replaced with all the money in the world. I would be happy to spend the rest of my life under a piece of tin if it meant I could be in the shadow of my little hero. As you correctly pointed out. Every abused and mistreated parent has their hands tied, and must submit to the torture of watching the obvious trauma experienced by their children after the ensco entrance of docs, There parents usually react by treating their own personal torture as irrelevant. I lost everything I lived for, I have nothing left to lose, my only pleasure is to pursue the reunification of these persecuted and devastated families. For some time all I could contribute was words of support, more than anything else on offer. That is changing. The underground army is growing and strengthening. I have only been doing this for 2 years, imagine when I have been dribbling shit for ten years, if I have to be around for that long.See More

This is just five people, I will use the Luke's Army newsletter which goes out to over 3000 people including politicians as senior as the prime minister, judges, CPS reform groups and activists, desperate parents, CPS staff, and the concerned public. I will keep including people who have had their lives ruined like yourself and your children, in the newsletters.See More

All I see is that you have turned this crisis for kristy and her family into your personal battle for Luke ..

This is nothing but a personal attack. I use Luke's Army to expose the system and give support and networking to the thousands worl...d wide who are desperate for help, like Kristy and yourself. I did try to take down that photo, but it wouldn't let me without deleting the note, and then I thought, by the looks of the comments, public opinion seems to be more mindful of what the real issue is, and that is not my language when I am angry, or me, or Luke's Army, on this group it is about Maddison and her family.

Like Luke and so many other tragically mishandled cases, Maddy is a hero. She is doing her bit to fix this terrible system that is supposed to look after chilren but is wrecking their lives and their parents, world wide. The treatment of this family in my view should be exposed as much as possible.

Like I do on Luke's site and the Luke's Army group on fb, I show compassion for all those who are living this nightmare. I cannot turn my back on them, and I am sorry, but I will never turn my back on Luke. And I will not apologise if I have posted a link every so often to his site. It is also a very useful site to me as I have written so many relevant articles over the last two years and have acrued many invaluable links.

if you had any regard for Kristy or any of us ,you would be mindful on what you say do or post ...

I would finally like to point out to you Di that you have to people who like your comment, and I have 14. I am an admin of this group and I a...m so honored to have this responsibility bestowed upon me, and even more honored that this family, and so many others should turn to a foul mouthed lout like myself for help.

To me, part of the responsibility that comes with this position that I value dearly, is to create interest in the group, to keep interest growing and to continue to increase awareness of what has happened.

I also believe I need to make sure that people have their questions answered and Maddison and Kristys status available and updated because there is obviously much sincere and genuine public concern surrounding Kristy and her children. This however I leave to the family unless I notice many people asking for an update.

My roll has changed since I was first contacted, days after the incident occurred. First and foremost, I was there to offer support, and I was disgusted and terrified for Madie because Linda Burney had reserved the right to turn off life support.

I sent out thousands of emails and alerted every CPS reform group in the world that I could find that I wasn't already a member of, and it was the first time ever that so many groups from all aroun the world joined on one platform.

Now, I believe my roll as admin is to make sure the group remains active, and interesting. To have people quit in dusgust, says to me that I am not boring people. And when you think that several of the comments I have made received around or well over 6000 hits, I must be doing something right. Matter of fact I can tell you that so far this little pearler has had 7400 hits.See More
I now sadly need to try and remove my name from this petition and anything to do with this site ... Reprocutions for my family are too great ...:(Your an idiot Di).

So after accusing me of being only about my son Luke, you turn around and admit that it is all... about you, your family. That is ok. I know how they work off fear, and it is obvious that you love your children.

And away you go. I have lost a member of this group because of my language. Hopefully I have made up for it by bringing this tragedy to the attention of the media, myself and Kristy were interviewed by Prime Television News,

This may seem like a lot of exposure, but for these few articles, I contancted numerous news outlets. Complimentary to these news reports, I also posted my own on numerous independant news webs sites and on hundreds of fb groups and profiles, which I still do..

I find for an official petiton this image to be very innapropriate at the least ........got any ideas of what would be an apropriate image for the story that goes with this image Di ??? Linda Burney needs to STOP !!! her department needs to STOP. children deserve better services and support to keep them within their family un...it, just ask the thousands of kids that leave state care between the ages of 16-18 and have no connection to ANY family, do they agree with what docs have done by destroying the family unit and breaking all family bonds ?

where are the statistics of all the kids leaving care? how many are happy? how many are lost and have no family connections, how many kids were stable in foster care? how many kids lack stability in state care? where are the statistics that show what docs are doing to families? if the statistics were positive Linda Burney would be showing the positive outcomes to all, as this is not happening one can only believe that there is no such thing as a positive outcome for all the children in careSee More I think this image is awesome oh and more than appropriatethe image is irrelevant... although clearly a manifestation of the frustration and hurt built up in families that are being torn apart... I hope someone gets the point of the story and something is done soon ‎"Community Services" power hungry heartless blood-thirsty animals

I do apologise for the language, but every now and then people need to be reminded, i am an activist. I can and should do outlandish things. Keeps those cockroaches worried that i may be crazy. My son probably has the largest of hundreds o...f CPS Reform groups in the world. giving me support and resources. I don't want to let my son down or anyone, but my motto is 'I am a loose fucking cannon.' i will sincerely try to calm down a bit, I was just so angry when I heard the latest despicable treatment inflicted upon this family.

Thankyou for your comment my friend. Once again I apologise for my lack of finesse, but relish the opportunity of posting this rebuttle. While none of my friends are aware of my efforts to make an impact on CPS reform and see that Luke is ...honored, many who are part of the fb platform are subjected to my relentless quest. I do not talk about what happened to my son. It hurts too much, and People I am with should not be force fed this issue. On fb, you have a choice to read or not. To engage, or turn your back. When you said it will be used against me, you are definitely right. I was told that I can probably sue for around 20 million. Luke can never be replaced with all the money in the world. I would be happy to spend the rest of my life under a piece of tin if it meant I could be in the shadow of my little hero. As you correctly pointed out. Every abused and mistreated parent has their hands tied, and must submit to the torture of watching the obvious trauma experienced by their children after the ensco entrance of docs, There parents usually react by treating their own personal torture as irrelevant. I lost everything I lived for, I have nothing left to lose, my only pleasure is to pursue the reunification of these persecuted and devastated families. For some time all I could contribute was words of support, more than anything else on offer. That is changing. The underground army is growing and strengthening. I have only been doing this for 2 years, imagine when I have been dribbling shit for ten years, if I have to be around for that long.See More

This is just five people, I will use the Luke's Army newsletter which goes out to over 3000 people including politicians as senior as the prime minister, judges, CPS reform groups and activists, desperate parents, CPS staff, and the concerned public. I will keep including people who have had their lives ruined like yourself and your children, in the newsletters.See More

All I see is that you have turned this crisis for kristy and her family into your personal battle for Luke ..

This is nothing but a personal attack. I use Luke's Army to expose the system and give support and networking to the thousands worl...d wide who are desperate for help, like Kristy and yourself. I did try to take down that photo, but it wouldn't let me without deleting the note, and then I thought, by the looks of the comments, public opinion seems to be more mindful of what the real issue is, and that is not my language when I am angry, or me, or Luke's Army, on this group it is about Maddison and her family.

Like Luke and so many other tragically mishandled cases, Maddy is a hero. She is doing her bit to fix this terrible system that is supposed to look after chilren but is wrecking their lives and their parents, world wide. The treatment of this family in my view should be exposed as much as possible.

Like I do on Luke's site and the Luke's Army group on fb, I show compassion for all those who are living this nightmare. I cannot turn my back on them, and I am sorry, but I will never turn my back on Luke. And I will not apologise if I have posted a link every so often to his site. It is also a very useful site to me as I have written so many relevant articles over the last two years and have acrued many invaluable links.

if you had any regard for Kristy or any of us ,you would be mindful on what you say do or post ...

I would finally like to point out to you Di that you have to people who like your comment, and I have 14. I am an admin of this group and I a...m so honored to have this responsibility bestowed upon me, and even more honored that this family, and so many others should turn to a foul mouthed lout like myself for help.

To me, part of the responsibility that comes with this position that I value dearly, is to create interest in the group, to keep interest growing and to continue to increase awareness of what has happened.

I also believe I need to make sure that people have their questions answered and Maddison and Kristys status available and updated because there is obviously much sincere and genuine public concern surrounding Kristy and her children. This however I leave to the family unless I notice many people asking for an update.

My roll has changed since I was first contacted, days after the incident occurred. First and foremost, I was there to offer support, and I was disgusted and terrified for Madie because Linda Burney had reserved the right to turn off life support.

I sent out thousands of emails and alerted every CPS reform group in the world that I could find that I wasn't already a member of, and it was the first time ever that so many groups from all aroun the world joined on one platform.

Now, I believe my roll as admin is to make sure the group remains active, and interesting. To have people quit in dusgust, says to me that I am not boring people. And when you think that several of the comments I have made received around or well over 6000 hits, I must be doing something right. Matter of fact I can tell you that so far this little pearler has had 7400 hits.See More
I now sadly need to try and remove my name from this petition and anything to do with this site ... Reprocutions for my family are too great ...:(Your an idiot Di).

So after accusing me of being only about my son Luke, you turn around and admit that it is all... about you, your family. That is ok. I know how they work off fear, and it is obvious that you love your children.

And away you go. I have lost a member of this group because of my language. Hopefully I have made up for it by bringing this tragedy to the attention of the media, myself and Kristy were interviewed by Prime Television News,

This may seem like a lot of exposure, but for these few articles, I contancted numerous news outlets. Complimentary to these news reports, I also posted my own on numerous independant news webs sites and on hundreds of fb groups and profiles, which I still do..

With possibly the most serious "evidence of departmental corruption" in Australian history surfacing in the department of community services in New South Wales (DoCS NSW), one wonders why nothing has been heard of it. Wouldn't the fact that the handling of just one family's case by DoCS NSW, revealing at least 20 different DoCS workers who behaved unethically, be alarming to anyone.

One of the complaints of corruption by this woman who had her children wrongly removed for six months and abused by the time she got them back, was that she had rung the DoCS complaints line, run by "Linda Burney"and DoCS NSW, and had never once received the help that she undoubtedly was right in asking for.

The DoCS complaints "Hotline" is a smoke screen and a safety net for "Burney" and her cronies, giving the impression that there is a complaints service in operation, and alerting the department should the need arise to destroy evidence, alert staff who have been caught out, there are many reasons why the department's control of this service must be discontinued, and the responsibility of and independent entity.

Truly distressing is the corruption of everyone envolved in the case, and the reaction of Kristina Keneally and Linda Burney, who have stealthily set up a tribunal, much like the "DoCS complaints hotline."

This incident has proven how much corruption exists, DoCS have become expert at hiding corruption, with Burney at the helm for years.

No, to have an investigation run by an incumbent minister of a corrupt department is unacceptable. A premier who is also dismissive of corruption allegations, is also under a shadow of doubt. Keneally has now come under fire due to unethical handling of the families envolved with the corrupt DoCS workers, and the concealment of the whole alarming tragedy.

Gillard refused to acknowledge, and referred the matter to Keneally, who referred my complaints of corruption back to the person I was concerned was corrupt. This is surely a sign of corruption in itself.

What disturbs me the most, is the families who they have dealt with in Linda Burney's trademark cruel and tyrannical way, more than likely have had their children wrongfully removed. Every family whose case envolved the corrupt psychiatrist or corrupt DoCS workers, should be shown some respect and informed of this situation.

Linda Burney showing respect to parents, now there's a first.

It is for these reasons I have reported the prime minister Julia Gillard, the premier of New South Wales Kristina Keneally, and the New South Wales minister for the department of community services Linda Burney to the Independent Commission Against Corruption New South Wales.

The fact that this organisation was not approached in the first instance of such a substantial exposure of corruption but instead hidden by senior politicians, to me is another sign of corruption.

This is my complaint to the Independent Commission Against Corruption NSW, regarding DoCS NSW, "Linda Burney"minister for department of community services New South Wales, Kristina Keneally premier of New South Wales, and Julia Gillard, prime minister of Australia. The link is at the bottom of the page for anyone who has had their children wrongly removed by this corrupt department

The mother who proved that DoCS NSW acted unethically contacted me when her children were first taken claiming they were wrongfully removed. She sold her house to fight for her children back. There were four children wrongly taken.

The DoCS complaints line.

Evidence of corruption shown with thousands of complaints dismissed, or ineffectual. The sole purpose of this service is to offer false security of a safety net, be notified of wrongful decisions, and stay informed of who is aware of the corruption taking place.

Julia Gillard is aware of this corruption but has failed to represent the children and parents who are victims of this corrupt department.

With 20 DoCS workers exposed for corruption, from one case, this is the tip of the iceberg. The vast majority of families who encounter this problem are dissatisfied with their treatment by this department.

Julia Gillard has a duty to step in when she is aware of such a travesty.

Kristina Keneally is also fully aware. My letter of complaint to Julia Gillard was forwarded on without comment to the premier of NSW who forwarded it onto the minister, Linda Burney. If I am complaining about corruption, it is corruption to be referred back to the minister embroiled in the corruption.

I have contacted Linda Burney with my concerns on numerous occasions, never once has she returned my call.

The NSW government threatened me with Legal Action for turning whistle blower. This is against the Australian law for whistle blowers, and evidence of more corruption from the NSW government.

I also am aware of the case of Betty Trestain, who has accused the DoCS NSW of using false psychiatrist reports. This is not an uncommon claim from people dealing with this department.

All families assessed by the psychiatrist who was found to provide a false report in the case of Melina Evelyn Skidmore (Vassel) undoubtedly should have their cases come under review, as do the psychiatrists regularly contracted by this, and every department in Australia.

With the millions of dollars spent with these individuals, the fear of losing the golden goose if a psychiatrist does not "come up with the goods, is more than a remote possibility, it is now a reality, as is everything that this department has been accused of overwhelmingly for years with Linda Burney as Minister.

It is not acceptable that this is the only corruption present when so much unethical behaviour has been related to one case, a mother who went to them for help? Persecuted along with her children, by 20 people who are supposed to be there to help.

Somewhere along the way, this whole department has become permeated with the rotting stench of corruption. With the inclusion of 20 people in this corruption, there is no possibility that any staff member of that office is not aware of the wide spread corruption, and for the minister not to be aware of such prevalent and organised misconduct, is negligence on her behalf.

I can assure you right now without seeing any figures, that there was no extreme rise in the number of complaints issued to DoCS complaints line at the onset of Melinas devastation. This did not just begin, but is deeply ingrained, and endorsed by the minister, the premier and the prime minister.

Ignorance is not conceivable. The prime minister has been contacted constantly about the corruption within this department, and the procedure of writing off all responsibility with an email saying go see the premier, is not acceptable.

She knows there is evidence of corruption, and has not acted upon this or followed up on the complaints.

This is not nearly as sever an example as from the premier Kristina Keneally. For a premier who knows of a major corruption occurrence to refer more allegations of corruption back to the corrupt source, is morally and responsibly incorrect, unethical and surely illegal.

Children need to be returned immediately, and a royal commission held into this department. The minister has operated with no supervision or investigation, protected by media laws, for way too long. It is the fault of the premier and the prime minister because they have failed to act immediately upon becoming aware of a major corruption existence.

This is the worst type of corruption in existence, with children being wrongfully removed by evil people. Still it goes on.

To have such a chatastrophe and try to keep it as quiet as possible, is another sign of corruption from within the Department of Community Services.

The Premier obviously has every intention of giving the department a bandaid and making this astounding display of blatant corruption, seem as insignificant as possible, which means the department of community services will continue to fester.

A tribunal is organised by the department of community services is about as useful as the DoCS Complaints Hotline. It is inadequate and displays the Premiers willingness to allow this department to continue it's "Reign of Terror".

For anyone not to be concerned of such significant corruption in a department that works with children, is unacceptable. For the Prime Minister and the Minister for department of Community services, blatant negligence, if not corruption.

This department showed it unethical standards once again with this cover up. A tribunal to investigate the 2o people in the office, and we will never talk about it again. The whole department and the complaints which have constantly been dismissed, need to be thouroughly investigated, not a band aid, not a cover up.

The parents need to be reassessed, and all who were involved suspended, pending clearance of their name. If found guilty they should go to jail for the irrepairable damage done by removing a child from a loving family.

DoCS NSW show festering signs of "Mass Corruption", the holocaust of NSW DoCS continues unabated, and a serious audit the only option. The federal government surely responsible for any worsening from the time awareness of this atrocity began.

An organisation that portrays itself as a beacon of light for children, befriends them, then abuses them, is the equivalent of a pedophile ring.

DoCS NSW does not even befriend these children. The position of parents is wrongly shown as the least important relevance to a child. So many like "myself", can make no difference to the situation of their children who were legally kidnapped.

Hi Melina,I am still working with your case as a starting point for corruption in DoCS. What I would like to know is did you ever ring the complaints line and who else did you complain to. Because they have been proven to be corrupt, I am hoping this is a way to show that it is to do with the complaints line as well and want to see figures. I am also demanding that the cases of the workers envolved be reviewed, every family, and maybe it will help to bring some kids home. Would you be able to tell me how many were found to be corrupt and their names, or the tribunal still working on it? If you have any other suggestions, concerns or requests, please let me know.Kind Regards,Michael.

Hi ,in answer to your questions number of people involved who were corrupt is still under hands of tribunal but on my count 15-24 people directly involved in the matter not allowed to disclose names at present.

In relation to the complaints line pfft yes i rang them over a dozen tiime, no real response there are still over 172 complaints which i listed adn gave directly to complaints line, ombudsman and senior docs directors which have never been responded to or answered in any way this i will be bringing up during the tribunal hearing.

when i know better figures and can release info i will

thanks michael

Melina

Since when did it become OK for a person of power to permit government abuse to one child, a whole state's children subjected to this is a Holocaust, unacceptable. For the prime minister, or me and you. These people are attacking innocent children and parents.

"Who would do this" to families, Linda Burney can show you a whole department of these people, so can Phil Reeves, the minister for the department of community services in Queensland.

Political motivation (not on my agenda) or jurisdiction not acceptable as a reason for the one person in Australia left for the families of the Holocaust, Australia wide, The prime minister.

Kristina Keneally, the premier of New South Wales has also stood by and witnessed this tragedy, as my complaint and evidence of corruption originally presented to the prime minister was sidestepped, Gillard denying any responsibility or obligation to the children in NSW, and referring it to Keneally.

Is it not an example of corruption for the premier to refer this matter to the minister responsible for the corruption. This didn't just begin. Thousands of testimonies a year claiming corruption existed, swept under the carpet by this minister, and now her premier and the prime minister.

The complaints hotline is not going to fix this one Burney.

Of least importance to a child is who wins the next election or what DoCS office is theirs, no, because these are totally innocent children. Why would you want to stop a child that you know should be with their parents, and lie, destroy evidence, get other DoCS staff to lie for you, write false statements, get a psychologist to write a fake report. And that was the first time this has ever happened in the period of a childhood since Linda Burney started her position of not only extreme responsibility, and extreme power. Everyone in Australia knows it isn't, including the prime minister.

A smoke screen for the corruption coming from these departments. The blatantly misleading name of "Community Services" is as deceptive as the "Complaints Hotline." A front for an early warning system to start destroying evidence. Desperate parents once again being penalised for their honesty and concern.

I rang the Queensland department of community services hotline four days before my son suffered a fatal blow to the head while in the care of a 74 year old woman with three older children who all had serious behavioural problems. I rang to complain to them about the scratches on his face. His mother found scratches on his penis the next day. I tried and tried and tried until he died.

I think this psychologist has ruined many children's lives and should go to jail for a very long time, and the DoCS workers. Parental values and rights have been removed, and so has the value of children's lives. People that ruin the lives of many children, and cause death with their negligence, keep receiving less of a sentence than if it were an adult. Little babies scarred or dead forever, the whole of NSW aware of it, the premier aware of it, the prime minister aware of it, and lowly people like me know about it. So does my lowly son.

This should be thouroughly researched. A pattern must develop which can be looked for to expose more occurences. This is not the only serious claim against a DoCS pschiatrist being corrupt that is currently in the courts of NSW. I personally am aware of this particular case, with the mother resorting to going to a vet for blood tests after DoCS NSW cut off every avenue in the NSW medical sector. She travelled to Brisbane and slept on the street until her appointment with a Vet, the last expert left, the last hope of her child being returned. It is obvious to anyone how much this mother loves the child, as it was with me and Luke, and so many many more.)6.Number of children and parents assessed by corrupt staff at DoCS NSW7.Number of children who were removed that were assessed by corrupt staff at DoCS NSW8.Number of requests to the courts for removal of children by DoCS NSW and %contested by parents unsuccessfully (It is impossible to have your child given back by the kidnappers, and the courts play their part in this travesty)9.% of complaints by parents confirmed to be substantiated by DoCS NSW10.Number of complaints per year about DoCS NSW11.Number of children per year wrongly removed by DoCS with parents claiming children were wrongly removed.Australia's Tragic Record in the Media

My advice is for people who feel they have been mistreated and experienced unethical behaviour from The Prime Minister of Australia Julia Gillard, The Premier of New South Wales Kristina Keneally, The Minister for the Department of Community Services in New South Wales (DoCS NSW), direct your concerns to "Independent Commission Against Corruption New South Wales".

The DoCs complaints "Hotline" is about as honest as the people who run it.

LOOK AT ME LUKE. (He looked me straight in the eye as I continued.)I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYONE WILL EVER LOVE YOU LUKE. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LUKE. I AM TRYING TO GET YOU BACK THEY JUST WONT GIVE YOU BACK.

I kissed him and tried to act happy so as not to upset him, but I was worried sick throughout the whole visit about him going back to that house, especially with the scratches on his face. When I mentioned the scratches to the visit supervisor and informed her he was always bruised and scratched, even burnt, she told me he had scratched his own face, that is what his foster carer had told her. My suspicion is the old lady let them all abuse my little baby and turned a blind eye to it. Luke drove off in the back of the child safety car and I collapsed to the ground in front of the playground and cried and cried and cried. I kept telling people I knew I was never going to see him again. I was standing on the shore and looking out to sea. He was in a boat drifting further and further out to see screaming "DADDY, DADDY." I did a drawing for him but I was telling people "I know I am never going to get to give it to him."That is how strong the bond was between me and Luke. I cried that whole week til I got the call that Luke was in intensive care. When they finally let me in to see him, half his brain was dead because he had been left lying so long with a fractured skull. He was in a coma, on morphein, but when I said "Lukey, Daddy's here", a tear came out of his eye. I watched over the course of six days as Luke's brain died off and he lost control of each organ. After the third day they wanted to turn off the machines as he was still not breathing on his own, and had not done since his arrival at hospital. I went to him in his coma, and I said to him "Luke, you start breathing for Daddy, right now", and I started breathing real loud to show him I wanted him to breathe. My little champion started to breathe for me, and kept breathing for 8 hours, til it was just too much for my little baby. He made me so proud. I stayed and slept with him in my arms each night until on the final day they turned the machines off and Luke died in my arms. I let his mum sleep with Luke in her arms on the last night because I believe a sick child wants to be in his mothers arms, and a dying child wants to die in the arms of his father.
